Essential Information About the StageCONNECT 8x8 Interface with Ultranet Outputs

• 8 symmetrical XLR line inputs and 8 symmetrical XLR line outputs for quickly integrating analog sources and returns into a StageCONNECT network.


• StageCONNECT 32-channel digital audio with latency under one millisecond, in uncompressed 24-bit PCM (44.1/48 kHz).


• Two Ultranet outputs to directly power Behringer P16 personal monitoring systems and Turbosound iQ speakers.


• Flexible on-stage cabling via a standard XLR microphone cable (or DMX cable), with remote power and control data.

A Unit Designed for the StageCONNECT Ecosystem and Modern Stage Setups

Designed as a dedicated connection box for StageCONNECT systems, this module serves as a simple and efficient gateway between the analog world (your XLR line inputs/outputs) and multichannel audio distribution on stage. It can also function as an analog I/O box with other compatible StageCONNECT equipment, including certain distribution and monitoring systems, making it a central piece to streamline patching and reduce multicore cable lengths.

Its value becomes especially clear when you need to link a stage to side racks, multiply audio access points, or create subgroups (monitors, side-fills, links to amps/active speakers) without complicating the setup.

Who Is This StageCONNECT 8x8 Unit For?

This interface is aimed at sound engineers, stage technicians, and touring bands seeking reliable and quick-to-deploy connectivity. It is suitable for live performances (clubs, venues, festivals) as well as fixed installations requiring clean analog extensions while maintaining modern, centralized audio distribution.

If you use a compatible console, StageCONNECT stage boxes, or want to power Ultranet personal mixers (like the P16) and compatible speakers directly from the network, this unit allows you to build a coherent, easy-to-wire, and scalable system.
